Second concussion in 6 months.  Car accident.  Not my fault.

I have been so frustrated this week.  I've been trying to get better by just resting and not pushing myself too far...but if you know me, pushing myself to the max is sometimes what I do best.

It's funny though, God always has a plan through the good, the bad, and the ugly.  He takes what the devil meant for evil and turns it around for good.

Even though all I really want right now is to have energy and all my memory back (it'll be a week on Wednesday! I want to go back to work for pete's sake!), I'm finding that even now, all He wants is me.

All He wants is me.

What a privilege to return such a perfect favor.

i feel like such a blogger today

I mean, the bun, the polka dots, the nude lipstick...

Except (a) I haven't posted for over a week, (b) I STILL haven't done the vlog, and (c) nothing I'm wearing is thrifted and (d) all of the above.

I guess that was kind of a blogger fail.  Bummer.

if you hadn't heard, let me tell you

IT SNOWED!!!!!!

(No, I didn't take that picture.  I wish I had though.  Wouldn't that be a lovely place to stay?!)

In honor of such an occasion, mom and I decided to trek to the store and drag home some pizza, ice cream, and hot cocoa (because what else do you eat on a snow day?).

While we were gone, I decided a few things:

• Snow shoveling brings neighbors together better than anything.  I tell you what, there were more people outside at 6 p.m. in 20 degree weather than you see at the pool in the summer.
• At first I was feeling insecure about my non-showered un-makeup-ed self making a grand entrance in the grocery, but then I realized that hey, with my brother's incredibly huge coat, a fuzzy hat, and baggy pants tucked into my ankle snow boots, there is no man in his right mind who would give this girl a second glance. Skinny jeans? Psshhh! Never again.
• If you ever decide to take a late-night run (literally) to the store in the middle of a snow storm, do use the facilities before setting out.  Just in...case...

Today consisted of visiting 24 Hour Fitness (I need to get in shape!), drinking more hot cocoa, watching this video, and drinking ridiculous amounts of a green smoothie that was really purple.

Hope your weekend was a little more eventful than mine!

here's what happened

It was my alarm clock's fault.

I told it to wake me up at five and it most certainly didn't.  It just sang me an annoying song and let me crawl back into my soft, wonderful cave and snooze right on through shower and breakfast time.

Oh well.

I was only 2 minutes late to clock in.  And my hair only looked ridiculously flat and frumpy all day.  And I didn't brush my teeth or put on more than a little foundation and mascara.  But it's whatever.

In other news, I decided to stop drinking soda...diet and regular.  Apparently people who drink soda (even sugarfree) are 65% more likely to gain weight than those who avoid it.  I believe it.  Ever since I started working in food service where there's unlimited cold, refreshing soda that just calls your name all day, every day, I've definitely noticed that my jeans are a little tighter than usual.

......Looks like it's water for me.
